With Steam Deck becoming more and more popular, Valve has released a new feature that informs other players if a review left on a game’s Steam page was primarily played on the handheld.The announcement was made on the official Steam Deck X/Twitter account.

Keep an eye out for the Deck icon to see how these players reviewed the game, and let us know what you think! pic.twitter.com/RYVa9wVGYi — Steam Deck (@OnDeck) August 22, 2024

I wanted to come back to PC and console, and make a game for gamers.”Molyneux runs the independent studio 22cans, which created mobile games like The Trail and Godus. He said he “got disillusioned with mobile,” in part because of how mobile game development requires developers to stick to a specific formula to make money, according to Molyneux.”I started to ask… what should I focus on? I was 60 at the time and this realization came to me that this next game could be my last. I am not announcing I’m retiring. I’ll be found dead one morning with my head pressed against the ke…
